Management 2210

Managers and Their Environment - A Research Guide

Part I and II - Industry and Company Environmental Analysis

Task: Conduct a SWOT analysis for each of your two companies. What are you firm's key internal strengths and weaknesses? What are their major external opportunities and threats?

  • Business Source Complete
    This database contains SWOTs for select large, public companies.
  • Mergent Intellect
    This database does not have SWOT analyses, but content in the "trends" and "opportunities" section of the company's profile can be helpful in developing your own SWOT.
  • Morningstar Investment Research Center

    • Each profile has a tab for "Stock Analysis". Read these for content that you can use to develop your own SWOT.

Part III - Analysis of Today's Key Issues

Task: Discuss the key issues facing your company today.

Use Business Source Complete and Wall Street Journal to find articles and news stories about their management and leadership. I recommend using the CEO's name and/or the name of the company in your search.

Part IV - Resource Evaluation

Task: Cite your sources. Explain why you used each resource in 2-3 sentences below each citation. Use the Library's citing sources page for examples.

How to Put Items on E-Reserve

Whenever possible, the Library will provide electronic access to reserve readings, allowing 24-hour online access for your students.
Access can be provided in one of three ways:

  1. Linking to a freely available source on the Web
  2. Linking directly to an article in one of the Library's subscription databases
  3. Scanning print material and placing it on the Library server

The Library may also be able to acquire a digital version of the source and make that available for electronic reserves as well.

General Information about E-Reserves

  • All copies you submit to the Library must contain the original copyright notice and citation information - ask us for help in locating this information.
  • If a scanned item is to remain on e-reserve for more than one term, copyright permission must be obtained. Also note that reserve materials cannot remain on e-reserve indefinitely.
  • The Library will, under certain circumstances, pay for copyright permissions. For information on obtaining copyright permissions, see the Library's Copyright Guide.
  • Need more information about the Library's electronic reserve policy? Read more on our Course Reserves page.
  • Need more information on copyright? See the Library's Copyright Guide

Articles

Supplement your course reading list by providing your students with easy access to magazine, newspaper and journal articles. Please allow at least 7 to 10 working days for the library to process your e-reserve requests.

  • Is the article in print? We can attempt to find your article in an online format, or you can provide us with a PDF or high quality photocopy.
  • Is the article online? We can link to the article provided that such a link is not prohibited by copyright or other restrictions
  • Is the article in a subscription database? We can usually provide a direct link to the article.

Book Chapters

Provide electronic access to individual book chapters through e-reserves. If you have several items from the same source or if the book is not available electronically, we recommend placing the book physical reserve at the Circulation Desk. Alternatively, your librarian may be able to help you find comparable online resources.
Please leave 7 to 10 working days for the library to process your requests.

  • Is the book in print? You can either scan the chapter yourself (PDF is recommended) or provide a good, clean photocopy to the library circulation desk. Make sure to include a copy of the book's title page.
  • Is the book a Library e-book? We can include the link to the catalog record in your reserve list.
  • Is the book available through a subscription database? We can usually link directly to the book.

Please note:
Most of the Library's e-book collection can be downloaded by chapter, section or page. These books are in PDF format. We have several collections of e-books that can be downloaded in their entirety to read offline. Other e-books may only be available to one reader at a time. Refer to this list of e-book collections for more information about reading and downloading the Library's e-books.

Audiovisual Materials

  • Is the A/V material on CD or DVD? The Library can only make materials available electronically if we have the purchased rights. Contact your division librarian for more information.
  • Is the A/V material available through a subscription database? The Library has a large collection of streaming media, including online videos and music. We can usually provide a direct link to movies, clips, music and playlists from these streaming media subscription databases.

Still have questions about E-Reserves?

  • send an email to the Library's Course Reserves department
  • call the Circulation Desk at (630) 942-2106
  • stop by the main floor Circulation Desk (2nd floor SRC) whenever the Library is open
